Last Fall, City Council adopted a Playground Replacement Policy (as recommended by the Park & Recreation Commission), which rates the playgrounds in order of their condition and age, and priority for replacement. Peltzer Park's play equipment is near the top of this list (together with Alpine), and may receive replacement in some fashion as soon as this year (2022). The aforementioned policy also specifies that in the instance of neighborhood parks (in contrast to large community parks), that households within 1,500' feet walking distance are to be asked what they would like to see in terms of the playground's replacement— meaning that some persons may want a particular type of play components; others may want to see creative nature -based play features, some native habitat/landscape in lieu of play equipment, others a different type of recreation opportunity than a playground, and some neighbors may want little or no reinvestment in the park after play equipment removal. To reiterate, the Park & Recreation Commission wanted to remain open to hearing what your desires or requests may be for Peltzer Park, without making any presumptions on what you envision, nor issuing a 'check list' or menu of possibilities as an example. We want any and all of your ideas for the park! All feedback will be forwarded to the Commission, which is expected to develop a work plan in March/April for Peltzer Park. It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services.
